2024 Hyundai i30 Hybrid Review
For fun, Hyundai offer the i30N. For frugality there's the i30 Hybrid. Is boasting economy figures of 3.9L/100km enough to make it an obvious choice, or does it leave us feeling a bit underwhelmed.

Soft Top or RF? Which MX-5 is the best? | Episode 3 of Dave Stuck At Home
It's a cheap purchase and running car for goodness...if your keen to spend another 15 to 20 on bullshit go hard.
You can actually update the navigation system at Mazda service center to get the turn by turn directions projected to heads up display. I made them install Android Auto and Apple Car play on my car and when they installed it, they updated the other software too I believe which gave me that Mazda 6 like turn by turn navigation to heads up display. It costed me $550 in 2022 to install Android Auto and Apple Carplay. But I never regret the decision as it improved my navigation and overall infotainment in the car.
That’s a solid upgrade. I did similar on my 2016 MX5, got apple CarPlay installed which was made available from 2018 onwards. Made the world of difference. Thanks for watching 😊
Black is a hard color to maintain but DAYUM!!!
Amen! I would never have the discipline to keep it clean, but there’s no doubting when it is clean it is 😍. Thanks for watching 😎
4:18 actually don't need to release the handbrake. It will do it automatically when you touch the go pedal.
is the istop on the manual transmission
I believe it is
Any insight into other trims of the hybrid model coming soon to Australia? I would prefer this in an elite trim.
Allegedly the Elite and Premium trim levels are due to come to Australia later this year from what I could find online.
Hate to say it, but I agree with your aspects David. This looks like a poverty pack i30 to appease the penny pinchers. Not that penny pinching is a bad thing, but you can tell where they have scrimped on areas inside the cabin that looks a bit 'meh'. Shav
For sure but also I guess there’s plenty out there that just need a tool to do a job, and this fits that bill. In saying that, a nicer interior would go a long way. Thanks for watching mate
@@DavidBournePhotoandVideo if you get the chance, please do a review of a VW Arteon. 😁
@@chawalitD would looooooove to!
It does what I want for an affordable price. I may trade it in for a more premium model in a couple of years but this thing is perfect for urban driving and spacious enough to fit my large body.
@@XaviRonaldo0 plus the fuel economy must be nice to have in real world use. Thanks for watching mate 😊
I just bought the Grid Edition purely because of the Sportier seats
Smart choice! Congrats on the new ride, and thanks for watching 😊
I have a 24 and it’s an amazing car . Great review and walk around 😆
Congratulations mate! I still smile thinking about the time I got to spend with this car. Thanks for watching 😊
Whichever one you like is the best one for you.
Bingo! There are no wrong answers. Thanks for watching 😊
i really think mazda nailed it with the RF. its just a great looking car.
Agreed 😎 thanks for watching!
Mine is coming in 5 days!I ordered mine from Skoda since i kinda hate the looks of the new Kodiaq so i'll just be using this as my family car for hopefuly 4 years at least
Nice one! Congratulations 😊 thanks for watching
Disable the navigation system in settings and the lag will be fixed.
Interesting! That’s a great tip. Thanks for watching 👍
Love my ND2 RF 2021
Nice one 😎 thanks for watching!
David, your final comment pretty much nailed it. I've been actively planning my purchase for a couple of years, have been back and forth on the RF vs. ST question so many times I've lost count. Countdown is down to about 2 1/2 months and I really think it is going to come down to a coin toss, or alternatively, which rig on the dealers lot garners the strongest reaction. Have lusted after a true open roadster for--literally--decades, yet... Had a Fiat X1/9 many, many many moons ago. Loved that car. All 69HP worth. About the same time a buddy of mine acquired an MGB and had me drive it as he didn't know how to shift for himself--yet. I've been chasing that high ever since. So... Maybe soft top? I think. Or not... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Kinda sounds to me like the heart knows what the heart wants! Least you can’t get it wrong 😊 thanks for watching and let me know which one you end up with!
Nice
RF for me! I live where we have snow 35% of the year! Thumbs up!
Yep that’s a fair call! Thanks heaps for watching 😊
Just bought a manual RF in Ceramic Pearl. I like the looks of the RF whether the roof is open or closed; to me it looks like a Lotus Elise. But the soft top looks great too. I have bursitis in my left shoulder, so I had concerns that trying to operate that heavy soft top with my left arm would just aggravate it (I'm in Oz too, so RHD). Very happy with my RF, only done 15000kms so it's basically like a new car. And that manual shift is one of the best I've ever experienced
That’s awesome mate, congrats on the RF. Thanks for watching and commenting 😊
I want a rhd!❤
Definitely a cool car. Thanks for watching 😊
Love to see you do a comparison with the new ND3. Does that new 8.8 inch screen bump up the redline and overall driving experience haha.
I’d love to get the chance to do that too! Thanks for watching 😊
@@DavidBournePhotoandVideo out of curiosity....have you still got the RF?
@@bmc8989 I sure do! Now has a set of coilovers and a louder rear muffler but basically the same as it was
I had to google whats sunnys are lol
😆 I’m glad I can be an educational channel! Haha thanks for watching!
Your Japanese is very close, she said that there is no toll card inserted
Ahhh! I mean it’s almost the same thing, right? 😆
Close enough😂 I flew to Japan in December and bought a 2008 Fd2, patiently waiting for it to land to Ireland here in a few weeks 🇮🇪🇯🇵
@@user-em7pe8jj4u that’s awesome mate! Must have been a surreal experience getting to see it in Japan, knowing you’ll be blasting around home soon enough. Bet it’ll love some Irish B-roads 😎
@@DavidBournePhotoandVideo Absolutely! Has been a dream since I was a kid to go to Japan, buy a car and bring it home! This is more exciting than Santa coming!!
@@user-em7pe8jj4u can I channel my worst Irish impression and say it’ll be good craic? 😆
Ive got this car and it doesnt feel Big,
I’m guessing you get used to it. Also some of our main roads are a wee bit small, so makes it feel larger. Thanks for watching 😊
It is not just shy of 80k. They are sold at the MSRP of 72,600. Otherwise, excellent review!!
Thanks for watching mate! At the time of making the video I saw examples of people paying overs hence the just shy of 80K good to hear that’s stopped though.
Is a LHD Conversion possible in this car????
I’m actually not sure. This particular one was a JDM only model, so I’d assume no, but where there’s a will there’s a way, right?
Of course! Might try to convert it when I can afford it, thanks for replying!@@DavidBournePhotoandVideo
@@444aleman no worries at all, mate. If you’re allowed to drive a RHD where you are then you’re probably better off doing that, rather than having to go through the hassle.
👌 magnifique 😍
😎 thanks for watching!
I’ve ordered the 2024 mx5 and I don’t yet have confirmation because Mazda Australia doesn’t know yet not even the exact price. I can’t get the tan interior or the tan roof in the manual soft top. Where did this one come from and when?
Hey mate, this came out in 2020. Was a limited run for the 100 year anniversary of Mazda. That’s a bit frustrating about not being the price. As far as I know the soft top is just one colour here, unless you get the cherry roof which this one has but I don’t know if that’s even a selectable option.
@@DavidBournePhotoandVideo ok 2020. I thought I might have missed something. Yeah as you would probably know the Mazda website still says “new model coming soon “. Yeah apparently you can only get the tan interior for the RF and only in automatic 😟. I think it’s probably still worth the wait as it has the updated information and a couple of other small things. Thanks for getting back to me. Regards Dave
As I watched this vid, I started to think the car looked really familiar. Sure enough, it’s the very same car. Literally picked it up a week ago. 😂 PPF then race track for me… she’ll be thoroughly enjoyed. Great video!
Haha small world! Cheeky Steve hadn’t even told me he sold it! Glad you enjoyed the video and awesome to hear she’s going to live the life she deserves! Thanks for watching 😊
Roadster for me. No blind spot. I understand why some people choose the rf. My roof is never up.
Fair call! Thanks for watching 😊
Carpathian grey color?
Bingo!
The UK version has proper seats 👌
Lucky lads! Would make such a difference. Thanks for watching!
Bro I want this 😢
I’m with ya!
A dream car. Certainly for me.
For sure mate! Thanks for watching 😊
@@DavidBournePhotoandVideo I can’t get over what you guys are paying for this car over there, my gawd. I guess for any car for that matter. That car in Canada is approx 150k AUS dollars.
@@dlj1285 yeah car prices here are pretty eye watering to say the least
Great video and review Dave! What a machine! Thanks for sharing the experience. Definitely slightly jealous over here haha 😂
Thanks very much mate! Not gonna lie, was pretty stoked to have the chance to experience it!
Really great review of the F-type. You have a similar driving environment to California's. The F-Type R will be missed!
Thanks very much mate, appreciate the kind words 😊 F-Type will definitely go down as one of the greats. Feel so lucky to have been able to experience it.
What a beauty of a car! 😮
You're not wrong!
Hello David, I hope ur doing alright; Watching ur video, right now. Please, could you film a new driver vid, just driving the streeets where you are? I never get to see, Australia. ( i know a drivers vid, is what ur doing in this vid. Your fan, The Knack, Get the Knack, My Sharona. Shaun🦉 of NYC🗽
Great Documentary. All the best Shaun of New York City
Nice And VW 😘😘
Not a bad review; not great either. VLOGGERS who just talk to the camera won't get as much attention than say what Paul is doing at @carexpert now. Sure that's a team but showing you the actual car and all about it vs talking about it; I know I'd rather watch as if I was at the showroom myself or better. Have a great way to present your vids, maybe you can change it up somewhere in the middle, cover some ground that the major players forget due to their high status :) thanks for posting, I'm keen on the incoming upgraded R model once revealed in a couple of years or less!
Thanks for the feedback mate and thanks for watching!
Yeahhh i'm sure she didnt say that but hey i'mma sub for sure🤘🏾
Haha cmon man, you can trust my Japanese skills, right?! Appreciate the sub 😊 thanks for watching!
@@DavidBournePhotoandVideo all good man😂😎
You forgot the NVH is rather high.. It would be a little tiring on a few hundred km trip. You didn’t forget..I just played that bit😅
Haha appreciate the edit 😆 thanks for watching 😊
Great video - subscribed!
Thanks very much mate! Very kind of you, I really appreciate it. Glad you enjoyed 😊
you got your boating license !
It looks like you installed coilovers?
Good eye! You are correct! MCA pro sports. Was the motivation behind taking some new photos and thought I’d throw together a quick reel in the process
Every time I tell myself no more black cars this thing drops. Looks fire!
😆 just say “I promise this is the last time!” All is forgiven
This is the car of the year. hands down!
Hard to argue! Thanks for watching mate 😊
I think black for this generation looks better than the white
How come? I agree the spoiler looks more at home on the black. I still like how the white shows off the black accents though. Thanks for watching 😊
@@DavidBournePhotoandVideo Idk, in my eyes at least for this generation the black fits better, car looks more aggressive on every aspect, dont get me wrong i love white, i have a white 10th gen si, but black for this new gen flows better imo
@@raptor3291 fair comments!
I want to miss out on the convertible experience
Roof up and job done 😊
Great review and thoughts! I have a 2020 ND2 Miata since new and still enjoying it everyday.
Nice one mate. I’ve got an ND RF that I bought new in 2017. Sill love it every drive as well. Thanks for watching 😎👍
